The president delivered the kind of performance many Republicans have said they hope to see from him this year as they fight to keep their majorities in the House and Senate. He also gave a lift to congressional hopeful Rick Saccone, who faces a tough special election.

The Arizona Senate primary has already changed drastically over the last six months, with a series of surprise exits (Jeff Flake), entrances (Sheriff Joe), and changes in fortune (a Bannon endorsement). It’s another test of how to balance a Trump primary — and it could get way wilder.

“It’s just a bad day for all of this,” said one person who attended Friday’s event at the White House. Over the weekend, it even looked like Dr. Ben Carson might no longer speak at the King Center’s annual event. (He will.)

Uttam Dhillon advised President Trump that he had limited authority to fire former FBI director James Comey, according to a New York Times story.
